Catch Up

I am possibly losing my mind. I am so busy these days. I need to just STOP AND BREATHE. really, wow. I have had so many things going on lately I don't have time to do posts for each one. Which is what I wished I could do, so I could look back and see it all. NO, I am up past 1 am getting this crammed post together so I have SOMETHING to show for.

This will be extremely random and put together. Sorry if this is blah and makes no sense.  I fear if I don't do it now, I never will. *sigh* here goes the last couple of weeks:




This was just tonight. Don't mind her awesome outfit and hair :(   I just love how curious she is about ANYTHING! (especially our shoes)




This is Irelands friend Bailey. She is such a cute girl. her family is HUGE Broncos fans (as is my family) so I had made Ireland wear her broncos outfit when bailey came over in hers. I was so happy to see Bai  bring the bows I just made her! Oh, anyway, Bailey has come several times a week to play with Ireland and they are so cute together!




We had a big girls night out this week. There were 7 of us and we went to dinner at Iggys and then my cute cousin carly got us all into a movie at her work for free. This pic is 4 of us at the 2nd movie (yes we saw 2!!)  that night. And same with Twilight night, I didn't get pics of everyone that came. (sorry Misty, Heather and Bridgette)



Had some gift cards, so me, my sister and Ireland had a shopping day so I could get Leighton some summer clothes! here is Irey all dressed up cute in her tutu. I thought it was a fun, girly shopping outfit. ha ha 




This is us AGAIN at applebees. We go way too much. :) But our good friend works there and gives us free drinks, dessert and most the time free wings as well. So we keep going and having fun. 



Gotta always keep the kiddos entertained. Bubbles. Classic. Works every time!




We had another night with movies and pizza and.... Richard! ha ha this is a cool dude megan and mekell know. He came to join our girls night out. (Daniel didn't make it in time so Richard was the only guy) I didn't get pics of the girls cause they might possibly kill me if I didn't ask first




We had a birthday party at my house! I have some fun pics I will someday put up... *sigh* as well as our vacation to lake tahoe and a million others. here is Ireland being the girly girl that she is. The shoes she put on herself. And she  strut around in like a pro



We had a house full of sickies. Poor Ireland was sick and for some reason just wanted to drag her GIANT horse around then lay on him. she is so funny




ACCIDENT CHILD! 


These last few pics are my accident prone child. 

here she hit her top left of her head on my dad's glass table! :(  sad



Then after THAT healed,  here is my baby right before our walk, happy as ever and as always practically perfect......




...... then she was running from me and I was chasing her growling. Yeah dumb idea, she looked back while still running and fell face first on the cement. :(   I felt SO bad. poor kid


here is after we got back:



right after nap. looks like only the cheek and nose is bad

then a few days later. every time I looked at her it made me sad. I still feel horrible.

onto less depressing things:  On saturday I went to Kristinas   "meet and greet" for all her blog buddies. I had already met her but wanted to go meet other ladies. So I took my sister and it was so fun! Thanks Kristina.

Also I have not only had regular bow orders to make and get out, but I have my booth to get ready at the expo center in May! It seems forever away, but I have to make hundreds of bows, flowers, headbands and what not by then. yikes!

plus I am trying to get Leightons room ready. and I am starting "nesting" I think, because I have a list of over 3o projects I want done before the baby comes. We're planning a trip to st. george in the next couple of weekends, plus another trip to lake tahoe to go camping. Wow, I just realized that I have more things to do. HA HA. at least my life is never boring! 

2 congrats real quick:
Amber, congrats on the birth of your BEAUTIFUL new princess!!
and 
Leilia, congrats on your marriage!! 

HOORAY!

whew. good night

Best. Husband. Ever

really. serious. he is amazing. This is my valentines post. 

Daniel woke me up sat. morning and told me to get ready. When I was ready he told me to get my coat, phone and wallet. he said he had cleaned off and warmed up the car and it was snowing but I would be ok. (I was very confused at this point) He told me to go get in the car and I would know what to do. 

I got in the car and there was an envelope, inside was a clue. It was a scavenger hunt! ha ha.  YAY. I was still kind of confused and sleepy. All the clues had little riddles and hints that basically led me ALL OVER to different places that meant a lot to him. like my mom's house where he came to find me after we lost touch for a couple of years. (there my sister and her friend joined the hunt, except I had no idea they were in on the entire thing!!) I also was led to the salt lake temple where he proposed, to the place where we had our reception, place we had our first date , the first home we ever had together and then back home. 

It was snowing so bad so it took us over 3 hours!! but it was so fun remembering all the good, fun, and happy times. When I got home, the house was spotless and Ireland was taking a nap. He let me nap then when I woke up he had a HUGE/YUMMY breakfast made for me. 

I don't need to get into all the rest of our day and adventures. but the day ended with us making huge heart shaped cookies that turned out big blobs. but they were yummy blobs!

Well Besides being an amazing husband, he is the funnest, silliest, happiest daddy to Ireland ever!! she just ADORES him! I know Leighton will love him just as much!!

Here is just 2 cute pics of how much Ireland loves her dad:
everyday she asks him to push her around the house in her stroller. he does. every time. He always has time for her. He makes these race car noises and takes off fast and she squeals. awwww it's cute!


and this is MY FAVORITE PIC!! daniel was just talking. I don't remember to who or anything but look at her laying between his legs just watching him!!! love it!!!

Ta da!

So Our blog is now private! I made Amber check for me at like midnight to see if it was. ha ha thanks girl!

So I feel SOOOO much better that only certain people can see my blog and that makes me feel safe. So I have had some requests for belly pics. ummmm.... lol ok. but I can't guarantee that it is fabulous, ha ha.

The reason for the pink ribbon is, there was some people who wanted to know if the baby was a boy or girl and not be told just through a text, my sis helped me do this to show them she was a.... well a she!!!  ha ha anyway that is my belly at 5 months. lovely. 

Technically I should be half way tomorrow but since the baby is coming a week early, I am already half way right??

****** So here it is, for those who don't already know (which most my friends and family already do) here is princess # 2's name: Leighton Hallie Romney. :)  


have a lovely day!!

ha ha ha

I am sorry if I sound mean for laughing this hard, but this was waaaaaay too funny to not share. 

Daniel took Ireland and myself downtown to the big library. We took Irey down to the lower level because the whole floor is a children's library, but they also have different little coves for the kids to go play in and climb around. Anyway, Ireland went nuts! had so much fun and met new friends, we started to go find daddy and found ourselves at a dead end. basically just a whole wall of glass. you had to take a tiny step up if you COULD go through. but you can't-it's just glass. well..... ireland didn't get that and would step up and bam! hit her forehead in the glass. she moved to the next panel. BAM! hit her forehead. she went up and down the entire thing, trying to get out.
 I am sorry, but I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. It was getting painful to laugh that hard. I said let's go another way and tried to pull her away. NO. she was determined to get through. All I kept thinking of was that kid show: A BEE MOVIE. how the bee tries to get through the window and he is like: " maybe this time. this time. this time. this time. LOL. wow. 
then it gets better. 
Daniel just happened to walk by. I tried to explain through the glass what she was doing. She kept trying to get to him. She didn't GET IT!! Then she breaks down and starts bawling. She says "hep da da" (help dada) just kept asking her dad for help. 

So this was sad but for most of it was too funny. IRELAND: WE LOVE YOU GIRL!!!!!

I am trying to keep record of Irelands accomplishments. Good thing I put a lot of them on here because I have an awful memory. So this is mostly for me for those who don't care or whatever.

*Ireland can say and partially sign A B and C . 
*when Daniel and I count to ten she says the numbers before we do. her favorite numbers that she says over and over  in the car as I am driving is 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. but how she does it is much cuter. She goes si, sebe, eight, ni ten! then claps and says yay! ha ha I need to record it
* she will repeat anything we tell her to. we just tell her: say this or say that. and she does. I love it
* she tries to say baby sister's name, that too makes me happy
* she knows so many signs and catches on to every new one we teach her. I need to make a list of what she knows. 
*she loves elmo's world and will ask us to watch one, picks the one she wants, and will sit for the entire thing, singing every song and participates if the kids have to yell no or yes she does
* she went to her first dentist appt. and her teeth look good. All 11 of them
* she tells us sometimes when she has a stinky diaper or sometimes just go get us a diaper and will occasionally lay down too.
That is all off the top of my head. I need to print these off so I have them to show her when she gets bigger

**Ok, onto my regular blog things, I still have a few more days to get email addresses for when we go private thursday. I have been getting some texts and emails so if you dont want to leave your email address on here, there are other ways. I just don't want family and friends to not be able to read. thanks

EXCITING NEWS!!! and a little bit of business

We had our ultrasound this morning and Ireland is getting a........ SISTER!!!!!

we are so thrilled and was excited for a boy or a girl, honest! I am just glad Ireland gets a sister! I am honestly already going to go through clothes tonight, to see all Irelands little tiny things! 

My due date is still the 4th of July! but the dr. says we will have her here early for sure. Everything looks good except for one thing that probably is no big deal, I just need another ultrasound done at 30 weeks.

my dr. now does the 3D or 4D ultrasounds and we got an amazing video. Wished I had had that with Ireland. Oh well :)

we already have her name but I won't put it on here.... yet. WE ARE GOING PRIVATE! in one week. I already have way too much of Irey's info on here and it kinda scares me. So on thursday the 12th. 

if you want to be able to read this blog then I need you to leave me your email address in a comment please. if not email it to me @ mandikins19@hotmail.com

I will share our new baby's name then. thanks!!!
